Who's birthday is it?

My housemate Emily had her birthday party last night, and things got a little out of control.  A picture says a thousand words right? Let's revisit the night through some photos.

Before the guests arrived we decorated the room with streamers, and prepared some snacks...
After midnight things kicked up a notch, Emily and I found ourselves in the kitchen unsure of who anyone in the room was, and whether or not they knew who's party it was, or even who's house it was. They seemed harmless enough!
I thought I'd record some of the damage, at 3am...
The birthday girl danced her little heart out until 6am (Emily's the brunette). 
We found this note on the wall this morning.  That was pretty much the night.
It took us 3 hours to clean the house and fill the recycling bin to overflowing (it was empty). I'd say it was well worth it, and I have to admit there's something almost enjoyable about putting on a good record, making a cup of tea, and cleaning the house with a couple of friends after a great night (so long as you're not hung over that is). 
Oh and at 2pm our other housemate appeared from his room, after the cleaning was done, still drunk.

Party Rating: 8/10.

Haha. Love. My morning-after catchphrase used to be "What year is this?" The fact that I could never remember what century it was when I woke up filled me with much despair. It's kind of funny that drinking makes questions that may be really bothering you deep down come up to the surface. At a sober social gathering you would never ask who the host was.

haha classic, I had a good laugh over this piece. You know it's an epic party when there are random messages left on your walls. nice use of pics to punctuate the story too.

WOW heavy duty party fiend.

Didn't you feel slightly uneasy with complete randoms walking though your house???

For the most part they weren't complete randoms, it was Emily's party but our other housemate decided to bring back 30+ people from the fundraiser gig they'd been at earlier in the evening. So there were a lot of friends of friends... it was pretty intense though!

coming back to this I couldn't stop laughing at the "they seemed harmless enough" photo because Emily's eyes look sooo concerned. And it's Mike your housemate not even a random.
muhahaa
